SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 13, 2025 – Hobby has unveiled its all-new ONTOUR VAN Solaris 600 FT, designed for adventurers who crave independence and sustainability while on the road. This limited-edition camper van is fully equipped with high-performance solar technology, enabling electrically self-sufficient camping for up to four days—no hookups needed.
Built for freedom, ready for the road
The ONTOUR VAN Solaris is tailor-made for solo travelers, couples, and friends who want the flexibility to explore remote destinations without sacrificing comfort. At a price of €64,690, the new camper van includes a premium solar package and an array of thoughtful features, all pre-configured and ready for immediate use.
Reliable solar power for days off-grid
The heart of the Solaris edition is its 260 W BÜTTNER DOMETIC Power Black Line solar system, including a solar charge controller for optimized performance. Even in low-light or partially shaded conditions, the system delivers dependable energy. The solar panels are mounted in stable frames on the vehicle roof to prevent heat buildup, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Power is stored in a lightweight, certified 100 Ah SUPER B lithium battery that’s:
- 18 kg lighter than conventional AGM batteries
- Fully operational in cold conditions thanks to an integrated temperature sensor and heating element
- Rated IP56 for dust and water protection
With the HOBBYCONNECT app, users can monitor and control the battery system from their mobile device.
